Gianni Infantino

org_international

Janni Infantino is the president of FIFA, facing significant internal and external criticism over his proposal to sell private investor stakes in World Cup operations. Multiple football confederations including UEFA have opposed his plans, with some considering legal action and calling for a vote of no confidence. Despite this, he retains support from over 200 national football associations and has received public backing from U.S. President Donald Trump, who praised him as a 'fantastic' leader and suggested he could become UN secretary-general.
